Alcohol Addiction

Alcohol addictionis a previous psychiatric diagnosis in which there is recurring harmful use of ethanol despite its negative consequences. There are two types of alcohol abuse, those who have anti-social and pleasure-seeking tendencies, and those who are anxiety-ridden people who are able to go without drinking for long periods of time but are unable to control themselves once they start. Binge drinking is another form of alcohol abuse. The older adult population is frequently overlooked when discussing alcohol abuse. A smaller volume of consumed alcohol has a greater impact on the older adult than it does on a younger individual.
